KITZBUEHEL, Austria (AP) – Marcel Hirscher used a stunning second run to win the slalom of the classic Hahnenkamm races on Sunday, while Dave Ryding became the first British skier in 35 years to place second in a World Cup race.
Hirscher, who is the five-time overall champion, was in ninth place after the opening run and trailed leader Ryding by 1.09 seconds, but finished the race 0.76 ahead to claim his 20th career slalom win, and 42nd overall.
Ryding matched the best World Cup result by a British skier, set by Konrad Bartelski, who finished runner-up in a downhill in Val Gardena, Italy, in December 1981.
Alexander Khoroshilov of Russia was 1.11 seconds off the lead in third. Slalom World Cup champion Henrik Kristoffersen skied out in the opening run.
